- January - A trip to Minju, Tamil Nadu with Dennis, Tracey, Blayne & Tara Wyton from Canada and Greg and David Evans from the USA visiting the building given to us to start Gentle Hands of India!
- March - Dennis going over the building with the engineer and architect and acquiring plans for the renovation.
- October - After many months of paperwork, our legal status as Gentle Hands of India has been reestablished and we are able to function legally as Gentle Hands of India and funding from outside India is now possible!
- November - Plans for renovating the building are underway and our fundraising started for our $55,000 renovations costs along with the $10,000 setup costs and $8,000 monthly operations costs.
- December - We have about $25,000 of the $55,000 needed for our renovations already!
Truly this has been a good year! And we anticipate an even more exciting year ahead:
- Renovations to begin in January!
- The remaining funds to be raised for the renovations, set-up cost and monthly operational costs.
- The building finished and setup and furnished.
- House parents chosen and trained for running and parenting at the Children's Home.
- Volunteers visiting the Home and helping out where they can.
- Raising awareness of the Gentle Hands of India ministry and home.
We are so very excited to see God continue to move in and through Gentle Hands of India.
